I do in Marrakech - Elyse & Derick’s Dreamy Marrakech Wedding

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant city of Marrakech, Elyse and Derick’s wedding was a celebration of love, art, and culture. The couple from Dallas,, USA, brought together their worlds to create a timeless and elegant event that reflected their personalities and their shared love for authentic, minimalist design.

A Warm Welcome at Riad Yasmin

The festivities began with an intimate welcome night at Riad Yasmin, a serene haven in the bustling medina. With its lush courtyard and iconic green-tiled pool, Riad Yasmin set the tone for the weekend—warm, inviting, and undeniably Moroccan. Guests from across the USA were treated to a casual evening of mingling, local cuisine, and live acoustic music under the glow of lanterns. It was a perfect way for Elyse and Derick’s closest friends and family to connect before the big day.

The Bride & Groom’s Vision

Elyse, a yoga teacher with roots in Trinidad, and Derick, an artist from the USA, envisioned a wedding that honored their values and aesthetics. They wanted a symbolic ceremony that felt deeply personal, surrounded by traditional Moroccan design elements. Their choice of venues reflected this desire for authenticity, with each space offering an immersive cultural experience.

A Day to Remember at Riad Dyor

The wedding day unfolded in the enchanting Riad Dyor, known for its intricate zellige tiles, antique furnishings, and romantic courtyards. Elyse walked down the aisle flowing effortlessly in the gentle breeze, while Derick stood waiting, surrounded by the loved ones and beauty of the riad setting.

The couple’s love for simplicity and elegance shone through every detail, from the neutral floral arrangements to the understated decor that complemented the riad's natural charm.

A Celebration to Remember

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lavish dinner featuring Moroccan-inspired dishes with a modern twist. The evening transitioned seamlessly into a joyous celebration, with laughter echoing through the courtyard and a live band setting the mood.

Why Marrakech?

When asked why they chose Marrakech and these stunning riads, Elyse and Derick shared their admiration for the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. They wanted their wedding to feel like an adventure for their guests, and the blend of traditional Moroccan elements with their timeless aesthetic was the perfect match.

As their wedding planner, it was an absolute joy to bring their vision to life. From the first conversation, we felt an instant connection. Understanding their desire for a minimalist yet authentic celebration, we curated a weekend that honored their love story and the beauty of Marrakech.

Congratulations, Elyse and Derick! Your love and artistry created a magical celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

Their Review

The Party Maroc team made our dream destination wedding a reality! They helped us plan an intimate 40 person wedding in a gorgeous ryad in the heart of Marrakech. We were nervous at first, putting our trust in a team half way around the world (we live in Texas, USA). But Maria put our fears at ease very quickly! She was very organized and responsive. There was no issue or request too small. She addressed all of our “asks” and exceeded our expectations with the look and feel of both the wedding day and rehearsal dinner. Everything, from the decor to flowers to food was meticulously planned and executed. Our guests felt welcome and at home in Marrakech. Our wedding day felt like we were living in a fairy tale! If you’re thinking about hiring Party Maroc, you absolutely should!Hands down a dream experience during our major life event! We are so please with all those involved and could not have asked for it to have turned out any better!0 problems and a lot of fun and love! Thank you thank you thank you!
